Verse 1:

C           F
Now when that I was married
C           Am
And in my marriage bed
C               F
There came a bold sea captain
C        G  C
And he stood at my bed head
C     G          F      C
Saying, ' Arise, Arise, young wedded man
F     C       Am
And come along with me
  C
To the lowlands of Holland
    Am  F    C
For to fight the enemy'

Verse 2:

C           F
Now Holland is a lovely land
C           Am
And in it there grows fine grain
C               F
It is a place of residence
C        G  C
For soldiers to remain
C     G      F   C
Now the sugarcane grows plentiful
F     C       Am
The tea grows on each tree
  C
I only had the one to love
   Am   F    C
And now he's gone far away from me


Verse 3:

C           F
Said the mother to her daughter
C           Am
'Give up your soil and bed
C               F
Is there ne'er a man in Ireland?
C        G  C
That will be your heart content
C     G       F   C
Way there's men enough in Ireland
F     C       Am
But alas there is none for me
   C
Since high wind and stormy sea's
    Am  F    C
Have parted me love and me


Verse 4:

C           F
I'll wear no shoes all on my feet
C           Am
No comb all in my hair
C               F
I'll wear no handkerchief around my neck
C        G  C
For to shade my beauty fair
C  G     F   C
And neither will I marry
F     C   Am
Until the day I die
   C
Since high wind and stormy sea's
    Am  F    C
Have parted me love and I
